A concept-heavy engineering module was offered to introduce the experience of solving full-scale real-world energy-related engineering problems within a classroom environment and prepare students to be professionally ready for the industry. The widely practiced hybrid problem-based learning (h-PBL) pedagogical approach was adopted for the first 2…

With the rapid development of Artificial Intelligence in Education (AIED), ensuring that ethical principles are fully respected and implemented as AI technology drives educational innovation has become a pressing issue. Educators are actively exploring and establishing ethical guidelines for AIED, but the fragmented nature of existing research…

Slow and incremental improvements are no longer enough to help school districts meet the challenges they face. Instead, districts must enact bold, innovative, and durable systemwide shifts. This brief details how to both encourage these shifts and learn from districts' attempts to implement them, the Center on Reinventing Public Education (CRPE)…

This study addresses the significant challenges faced by higher vocational colleges in Guangxi, China, particularly in educational resource allocation, teaching innovation, and quality assurance. The research introduces the 3E Model, an innovative management approach that integrates three key components: Establishing a Teaching Center (ETC),…

This study reports on a qualitative multiple case study evaluating an innovation to enhance student reflection on intercultural learning at a Japanese university. The innovation involved students writing letters to themselves at the start of a 15-week programme and revisiting them at the end. A content analysis using Kember et al.'s (2008)…

This research explains Sustainable Development (SD) and explores the significance of sustainability education in the 21st century. The research points out the potential of gamification as a tool to enhance sustainable education. By integrating game elements into learning experiences, gamification can increase student engagement, motivation, and…

With the increasing integration of artificial intelligence in education, understanding how teachers' innovative behaviors shape their digital competence and well-being has become a critical yet underexplored area in teacher development research. The purpose of this study is to examine the effects of innovative behaviors of new teachers (=5 years)…

In this book, Jen Minor and Amy Moore offer a blueprint for building a school culture that embraces and supports the important work of multi-school collaborative teams. They provide clear strategies to unite leaders and teams around shared school and district standards, driving collaboration across campuses to reduce instructional variability and…

Practical work in the laboratory is a key aspect of the teaching-learning process in science because it allows students to acquire skills that are essential for carrying out experimental research. This is also a technique that provides meaningful learning. Microbiological control works with oxide graphene sheets (GO), which means a breakout of…

Research on embodied cognition acknowledges that cognitive processing is tightly coupled with bodily activities and the environment. An important implication for education is that learning can be enhanced when the brain, body, and environment mutually influence each other, such as when making or observing human actions, especially those involving…

It is crucial for engineers to anticipate the socio-ethical impacts of emerging technologies. Such acts of anticipation are thoroughly normative and should be cultivated in engineering ethics education. In this paper we ask: 'how do we anticipate the socio-ethical implications of emerging technologies responsibly?' And 'how can such responsible…

This study investigates the evolving landscape of learning and innovation within organisations that are particularly affected by the increasing digitalisation and prevalence of remote work and trainings. Focusing on the police and technology sectors, in this research 20 individuals were interviewed, identifying both real-time and long-term…

The capacity of educators to dynamically adjust their thought processes and behaviors in response to the diverse needs and characteristics of students in an unfolding teaching situation is widely acknowledged as a cornerstone of effective teaching. While teachers' instructional adaptations have been documented and studied from various angles, the…

Micro-credential (MC) is an innovative and disruptive technology-based learning model. In higher education (HE), MCs are typically certified in the form of a digital badge (DB) issued to learners upon completion of a credential. The introduction of MCs and DBs has the potential to revolutionise the way in which HE institutions deliver degrees, and…

At age 13, Montessori acted on her interest in mathematics and her vision of studying engineering, and convinced her parents to enroll her in a technical institute, in a class where she was one of two female students. This article presents how Maria Montessori broke through barriers to leave an innovative educational method. A timeline of her life…
